Few practices span the boundaries separating people who do shared work as successfully as virtual collaboration. New technologies offer opportunities to join together in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago.

The reach of virtual networks greatly expands the ability to engage leaders and implementers across boundaries that often separate people who have a common interest in an issue.
